I just posted on another thread that I lost an animal last year.  It still makes me sick to think about it.  I know I killed the elk and couldnt find her.  I would risk getting a ticket if thats what it took to retrieve my animal next time.  I know the coyotes ate well, but I could have really used the meat... not to mention it was my first archery kill and first elk.     Please PM me your info... thanks

He's already made it know he thinks it's illegal, I don't agree with him, at least not the way the law is written.  Hopefully Macs has something that can make everyone aware it's legal if conducted properly.

Thanks for the post Macs B.  I will keep you in my rolladeck for such a case when I hear of people having problems.  Don't worry about the internet police on this site.  There is one you can ask who represents the WDFW called Wildlife Gardian or something like that... 

Don't listen to anyone else...

Sounds like he already has the get out of jail free card, doesn't sound like he needs to listen to anyone else.

This is an issue that I think we need to pursue in earnest.

If it's legal great, if it's gray area with some LEO's then we need to get it cleared up, if it's not legal then we need to get the law changed, it's disgusting that anyone would want game to go to waste when a leashed dog could be used to recover game that would otherwise be wasted.

Two pages and still going well.

This is a very interesting topic. It could lead to a whole new avenue to persue with your shed dog. If he/she can find a shed I'm sure the could track a lost animal. I look forward to following this one.

[TheHunt]

Macs B, send me your contact information so that I can share it with others who would need your service. 

Where are you generally located?  Seattle, Bellevue, Puyallup?

[Houndhunter]

I have not heard back from Macs b, I would really like to the guys he talked too.

Wanting to welcome Macs B, and follow the thread.

The conditions are as follows:
1.  Dog is leashed and under my control at all times
2.  I am licensed to hunt the game being tracked
3.  I am unarmed
4.  Follow all applicable rules required to "hunt" such as time of day, hunter orange etc
5.  Capable of determining a "wounded" track from a "dead" track and breaking off in the case of a wounded track.

That doesn't make sense to me. Why would you be required to be licensed to hunt the game being tracked if you are tracking it for another hunter?  Also, why would you need to wear orange, since you are not actually hunting?

For you to be licensed to hunt the game being tracked, will really limit when you can utilize your dog for tracking other people's wounded game. For instance if you have a modern firearm deer tag, you would not be able to track a wounded deer during the archery season.

Am I understanding this correctly?
